Rejected petition proper teacher training, and resources for consistent delivery across Scotland.
We want the Government to make Gaelic a required subject in all public schools. Every child in Scotland should have the chance to learn the national language. We also ask for proper funding, teacher training, and learning resources to support this.
More details
Teaching Scottish Gaelic in schools is vital because it preserves a unique part of Scotland’s cultural heritage and identity. It connects young people to their history and traditions while preventing the language from disappearing. By making Gaelic part of every child’s education, we build pride, strengthen Scotland’s cultural diversity, and ensure the language survives for future generations. Without this commitment through education, Gaelic risks being lost forever.
